dragon head

Mint family herb

Dragon head is the carved or sculpted head of a dragon, typically decorative or symbolic.

Viking longships famously bore dragon heads at their prows.

In Chinese culture, dragon heads appear on ceremonial boats, costumes, and parade floats.

Dragonhead (one word) is also a genus of mint-family plants with flowers thought to resemble dragon mouths.
